Yeah I get that. Going to work when sick makes sense in certain situations like when you don't get sick pay or you have a crazy boss who is unforgiving of people taking sick time. I understand why people in those circumstances go out in public when they are sick. The people who go out shopping or to a movie or send their sick kids on a playdate or to school, etc. sick. Those non essential outings don't make sense to me at all.
Who? The Dane who did some research that said vaccines don't cause autism? He did not work for the CDC. Funny one of his accusers is RFK,Jr., a believer in the vaccines cause autism meme, who had his article for Rolling Stone retracted by RS.
He worked as a visiting "scientist" at the CDC right before obtaining the grant money.
He produced studies saying there was no autism and the CDC used his studies as their proof..over $12 million got funneled his way to keep him awash in grant money to write papers for the CDC.
Thoren's research was questioned very early on by other doctors while the CDC lauded his study as "proof positive".

In all fairness, it creeps up on you quickly. And it's contagious before there are any symptoms. I think I (and other family members) got it from a young guest at a large get-together the Saturday before Christmas. He was fine in the afternoon, running around with all the other kids...then by 6:00 or so, he was flat on his back on the sofa with a fever. Had he expressed that he was feeling sick, his parents wouldn't have brought him to the party, but he felt fine all afternoon. Two days later, my grandson got it, then my daughter, then me. My daughter went to work the day before Christmas feeling fine, but it came over her during the day and she came home that night sick as a dog.
I've had the flu about a half-dozen times in my life, and quite a few more colds.
Here's how I tell the difference - if it's congestion, coughing, and sneezing, it's a cold. If, in addition to those symptoms, I suddenly feel like someone is working me over with a sledge hammer - it's the flu.

His conduct was egregious, no doubt. It was financial fraud, not research fraud. It was RFK, Jr. who questioned his research. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_Thorsen
Not at all. I have no opinion on this at all. I was posting that the CDC is not as perfect as you may think. His conduct was way beyond and the CDC never even questioned him or his studies while others did. The CDC only backtracked after he disappeared with the money.
And the CDC continued to allow him to co-author papers with other CDC researchers AFTER that.

I do not think the CDC is perfect; don't know where you get that idea. It wasn't his research that was the problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poul_Thorsen http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/...anish-studies/
The funny, and I mean really funny as in laughter-inducing, thing is, there never was any thimerosal in MMR vaccine. RFK and his minions were barking up the wrong tree by a longshot, with this MMR/mercury/autism link of theirs.
